Reminding that there has been a significant contribution to the economy of the country by the migrant Nepali workers in the discussion with the minister, secretary, and other government officials, the PM said that there should not be an implementation of the decisions of the ministry to take extra service charge as it will impose a burden on the those flying abroad for employment.
